Ex-USS Saratoga departs Newport for dismantling and recycling BY LISA WOODBURY RAMA Naval Station Newport Public Affairs NEWPORT, R.I. (NNS) — Thousands of spectators lined the shores of Narragansett Bay Aug. 21 to view the final departure from Newport of the ex-USS Saratoga (CV 60) as she left Pier 1, Naval Station (NAVSTA) Newport, en route to her final destination at a dismantling facility in Brownsville,Texas. The ship arrived in Newport Aug. 7, 1998 following 38 years of commissioned service from 1956 to 1994. She arrived to what was then the Naval Education and Training Center Aug. 7, 1998 following four years in storage at the Navy’s Inactive Maintenance Facility in Philadelphia. The Saratoga, the second carrier of the Forrestal class, completed 22 deployments during her career, including service off the coast of Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 and in the Persian Gulf in support of Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. She was decommissioned Aug.
About USS Saratoga Commissioned in 1956, USS Saratoga (CV 60), the second carrier of the Forrestal class, completed 22 deployments, including service off the coast of Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 and in support of Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm.

“She served proudly for a long time,” said Mitchell Abood, 48, of Belchertown, Massachusetts. He served as an avionics technician third class with Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron 125 aboard Saratoga from 1985-1987. “A ship like this shouldn’t be taken apart piece by piece,” he said.

Tuition Assistance policy changing in FY-15 From Naval Education and Training Command Public Affairs Office VIRGINIA BEACH,Va (NNS) — Effective immediately, commanding officers and officers-in-charge may approve waivers to the one-year requirement that Sailors must be onboard their first permanent duty station (PDS) to be eligible for Tuition Assistance (TA) according to a NAVADMIN released Aug. 21. In addition to command triad waiver approval, Sailors must meet all existing re-
quirements for participation eligibility The NAVADMIN also detailed changes to the grade and fee policy for TA for courses starting after 1 Oct. to align with recent Department of Defense TA policy. Successful course completion will be defined as a grade of “C” or higher for undergraduate courses, a “B” or higher for graduate courses, and a “Pass” for “Pass/ Fail” grades and must be attained to avoid reimbursement of TA funding.

In Fiscal Year 2013, approximately 89 percent of courses paid for by TA were successfully passed, with 72 percent of those courses resulting in an “A” or “B” grade, according to D’Antonio.

Divide a paper into sections for the spiritual, relationships, the mind (intellectual and emotional) and health (sleep, exercise, diet and daily exposure to sunlight), and list the things you are doing in each area for self-care. This exercise can reveal whether you are lacking in any of these areas, or concentrating too heavily on one at the expense of time for the others. If you find that you are deficient in one or more (or all) of these realms — whether from a tough work schedule or a newborn baby, etc. — then making even tiny steps in each of these areas will likely begin to get your energy back up and empower you to embark on a new goal quest. “Just do it!” is the clarion call of the IBD Top Ten List.

SARATOGA: Thousands line shore for final departure from Newport, R.I. — Continued from page 3 learn to fly and move elsewhere. On Aug. 13, after viewing long range forecasts and performing final equipment checks, the date was set to relocate the ship Aug. 20. Excess safety lines were severed Aug. 19 when the Newport weather forecast called for clear skies with little wind. NOAA meteorologists checked the forecast throughout the Atlantic seaboard since the ship would depart Newport then head south to Florida and into the Gulf of Mexico prior to her final destination.A low pressure system off the coast of West Africa caused the original plan to be delayed for safety. On the original day of the movement, the teams met again at 4 p.m. for an extensive review of weather patterns.A decision was made to re-evaluate the forecast at 2 a.m. Checking that forecast proved the “go” for the operation as the weather system that was a concern for the tug captain appeared to be weakening. At 5:30 a.m.Aug. 21, the movement team arrived on station with the tugs arriving at 5:55 a.m., a safety brief was completed and the lines began to be pulled up alongside the ship to hold her on the pier as the Anaconda Lines, bow and stern chains and other tethers were disconnected. By 7:30 a.m. the last of the two tugs had arrived on site from Providence, the pilots were on board the ship and the mooring lines at the stern were released to clear the way for the last tug to make the stern connection. By 7:40 a.m. the last line was dropped and the connection that this ship has held to Newport for more than 16 years was severed. The tugs took control of the ship and eased her out to the middle of Narragansett Bay’s main shipping lane where the main tow ship, the Signet Warhorse III, was positioned to begin towing. Saratoga was underway to Texas at 9:31 a.m. The trip is expected to take approximately 16 days with an anticipated arrival Sept. 6. — For more photos of Satatoga’s departure, visit www.oceanajetobserver.com

From the very beginning in Toronto, Canada, Newburg’s father, Ron, instilled a passion for aviation in his son. Ron built aircraft and competed in Aerobatic Championships in the late 1960s and those performances inspired Newburg to become the aerobatic pilot he is today.At the age of 16, Newburg had his first solo flight and by 17, had earned his pilot license. Sea and ski planes were the first he added to his list of aircraft and he continued to build his experience in many different

types of aircraft. Eighteen years ago, Newburg discovered the aircraft that would satisfy his craving for an adrenaline rush. The Pitts Biplane allowed him to explore his interest of aerobatic flight. Newburg has flown competition and air shows in Extra300s, Suhkois, Cap 232 — some of the highest performance competition aircraft in the world, but returned to the Pitts S2S, which he said “is the best air show aircraft ever built.” One of his favorite roles has been his involvement with the Embry-Riddle Sport Aviation Club, where he acted as vice president for many years. He has served as an International Aerobatic Club chapter president for five years. In Dallas, Newburg now instructs and coaches aerobatic pilots. After receiving his FAA Aircraft Mechanic license with his FAA inspection authorization, Newburg formed his own company in Dallas as a way to put his aircraft knowledge to work.He modifies and maintains aircraft and provides a wide range of aviation services to aerobatic pilots.These skills were instrumental in the creation of the Pitts Viper and Viper Airshows. Newburg has been granted by the FAA and ICAS an unlimited, unrestricted air show authorization. He is an Unlimited Aerobatics Competitor. Newburg has competed in a number of events, and has competed at the advance level since 2003. In 2006, he took his talent to Sweden to compete in the Advanced Aerobatic World Championship. He has also competed in the Reno Air Races. In 2010, he competed in the Lonestar Aerobatic Championship and earned the title of Lonestar Unlimited Champion. Aerobatic Aircraft of Texas is Newburg’s aerobatic training center in Dallas. He offers instruction in aerobatics, unusual attitudes and thrill rides in both Pitts (Biplane) and Extra Aircraft.

‘A Frugal Chick’ visits Oceana to teach about the many ways to save money STORY/PHOTOS BY MC2 (SW) ALYSIA HERNANDEZ NAS Oceana Public Affairs Naval Air Station Oceana’s Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC) hosted a free class on clever couponing and smart shopping Aug. 20. The two-hour class, held at the Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training Unit (CNATTU) Oceana auditorium, featured speakers from the Oceana Navy Exchange and Commissary, an FFSC financial specialist, Oceana Command Master Chief (AW/SW/EXW) Eric Clark and the main attraction, special guest Laura Oliver, TV personality and founder of AFrugalChick.com. Oliver kicked the class off by telling the story of why she first started couponing. She started working towards her master’s degree after the company she worked for said they’d reimburse her for her education after each semester, only to change their minds after the reimbursement paperwork was submitted. Ending up with $22,500 in debt, Oliver took out a home equity line, started couponing, working three jobs, used the snowball method to

pay off her largest bills first, and paid off her debt in 18 months. “It’s totally doable; it’s a matter of making a decision,” Oliver explained. “That’s the thing you’re going to find out about couponing. Couponing is a lifestyle. It’s like anything else that you do — you want to eat healthy? It’s got to become a lifestyle.You want to exercise? It’s got to become a lifestyle.” “It means, when you take your kids to the store, they look at you and ask if there’s a coupon for the cereal that they want and know that if there’s not, the cereal cannot go in the cart. Because there is not a coupon and that is the rule in your house,” Oliver explained. Oliver went on, recommending different avenues to find the best deals and coupons. She recommended a website, myactivechild.com, run by a military wife who keeps track of deals on local activities for kids.“Whatever it is that they want to do, she’s got it all on her site. She’s phenomenal,” Oliver said. Oliver went through and discussed the benefits of shopping at each of our major local grocery stores. She touched on each of the special deals they offer, including a 10 percent military discount on all store brands at Farm Fresh, coupon stacking at Harris Teeter and Target, and special double coupon days at Harris Teeter and Farm Fresh. She shared tips on how to coupon shop without becoming overwhelmed. She gave suggestions on how to make a shopping list, how to organize your coupons and why certain methods work best for certain people. Oliver also provided guests with a print out of all of the main points she went over, including a list of places to find coupons and rebates, such as smart phone applications, websites and newspapers that have coupon inserts and magazines. “I just started couponing and when I went to the class she made me realize there is so much out there I didn’t know about that could help me save money and take my couponing to the next level,” said Aerographer’s Mate 2nd Class (AW/SW)

He added that he was most excited to go home and download all the phone apps Oliver discussed in class. Oliver also discussed the habits that will not help saving and the don’ts of couponing. She discussed how brand loyalty would not help your pocket book. She explained that a lot of people are loyal to brands simply because they’re used to those brands, that’s what they’ve always used or that’s what their mother used. “That brand loyalty is going to kill you,” Oliver said.“There is a very good chance that there is another brand that works just as well, or even better than the one you use. I know, I know, It’s mind blowing!,” Oliver joked. “We’re not talking about the cheap
stuff here with couponing.You get to try all the new stuff that comes out because that’s what they have coupons for,” explained Oliver. Oliver also explained that you should never photocopy coupons, steal the inserts from the newspapers or attempt to create coupons yourself, all things that can lead to and arrest and prosecution for fraud and theft.
